The Africa Centre for Leadership Strategy and Development (Centre LSD) in collaboration with Priests Peace and Justice Initiative (PPJ) trained and deployed 419 domestic observers to 14 states (Akwa Ibom, Benue, Borno, Delta, Edo, Imo, Enugu, Kogi, Lagos, Niger, Kano, Oyo, Rivers,) of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The observers engaged the highest number of Pentecostals to serve in election observation in the history of elections in Nigeria.

Reports from observers across 14 states and the FCT show that there were incidences of either late arrival of election officials or late commencement of voting. Confusion by some voters of their polling units, PVC validation error, and faulty card readers were some of the issues observed by our team.
